{Review} The Snugg iPad 2 Executive Case Cover and Stand in Black Leather

The Snugg iPad 2 Executive Case Cover and Stand

I recently received the Snugg iPad 2 Executive Case Cover and Stand in black leather for review and allow me to say that I am completely in love with it. I'm a proud owner of an iPad for about two years now and have been through iPad cases like crazy. Being a frugal mom, I haven't invested a lot of money on iPad cases. Consequently, I've ended up with low-quality cases. In just a few months of normal wear and tear, the cases start to rip on the sides and the stitching pulls away at the seams. … [Read more...]

During the Getting Gorgeous event, Thyme Maternity was there to showcase their wonderful products for mothers and new moms-to-be.

The people representing Thyme Maternity at Getting Gorgeous were awesome! They were full of information and … [Read more...]

I’m a Coffee Snob — There, I Said It!

Coffee

I cannot deny I'm a coffee snob. And it’s all thanks to my beloved Keurig Brewer. It's always ready to go with just one button, always consistent and never has any issues, thank goodness! It gives me delicious coffee each and every time. I can brew it strong or weak - however I want it and it doesn’t JUST make coffee - it makes so much more! After owning a Keurig for over 3 years, I can't drink coffee from just anywhere. There's a few places where I get coffee from just because I know … [Read more...]

First Alert P1000 Atom Smoke Alarm Review

First Alert Logo

Did you know that over one-third (37 percent) of home fire deaths occur in homes without smoke alarms? That's a lot if you ask me. That is exactly why the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) recommends that smoke alarms be installed in every bedroom and on every level of a home. In addition, alarms should be tested on a monthly basis and batteries changed at least two times a year. If you have a bad memory like me, the best time to check your smoke alarms is during daylight savings time … [Read more...]

Learn How to Practice Portion Control On-The-Go!

Moderation Nation

When I'm bored, I tend to snack.....a lot! I also don't always eat the right foods because of convenience and laziness, especially when I’m at work. And the number one thing I do that is sabotaging my diet is that I don't use the right amount of food when I eat and so I tend to overeat (at times) - which isn’t a good thing, obviously. Portion control can be a difficult feat, especially when it comes to busy schedules and always snacking on-the-go. Here are some simple tips from … [Read more...]
